Pistons and Cylinders
I believe these are for a 2.0 L. Would they be of any use to someone rebuilding a 1.7? Price looks good but whats the catch? Tx Doug |

I have 2 - 1.7's. One is complete and siezed.(spark plug missing) The other was running well when I bought the car and tore it down. Currently it is on the engine stand, stripped, and ready to split the crankcase and take journal readings.
I want to keep one of my engines original to stay with the car. So far it is all still "original". I'm just weighing out my options for the other engine. $229 for a complete set of cylinders, pistons and rings sounds pretty reasonable if I can make them work on one of my engines. Redoing the heads is not a problem but will things like, will my 1.7 engine tin fit over the 2.0 cylinders? What is the cc's of 2.0 heads vs 1.7 heads? Will they even fit on the 2.0 cylinders? Will it change the compression ratio to the point that I would have to run higher octane gas? Since the stroke is different would I end up with a 1.9L? Would a 1.9L work with the 1.7 FI or should it run carbs for a more variable set up? I have done a fair bit of mix and matching with V8's 305 to 350 - 318 to 340 to 360 (great success) and such but never with German engines. Sounds like a challenging project but I just don't want to waste my money. |
